Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible KJV King James Version

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath .

O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger , neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure .

Be merciful to me, O LORD , for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony .

Have mercy upon me, O LORD ; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed .

My soul is deeply distressed. How long , O LORD, how long?

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou , O LORD, how long?

Turn , O LORD, and deliver my soul ; save me because of Your loving devotion .

Return , O LORD, deliver my soul : oh save me for thy mercies' sake .

For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol ?

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks ?

I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes .

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies .

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity , for the LORD has heard my weeping.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity ; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy ; the LORD accepts my prayer.

The LORD hath heard my supplication ; the LORD will receive my prayer.

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace .

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly .
